Most likely story behind Rudy hard drive story is this. Someone, likely state actors from former Soviet Union states, hacked Hunter Biden’s computers. They then concocted bogus emails snd combined them together. Lots of red flags point to this.

2/ Emails appear to be in image form, no metadata. They only come from the supposed Ukrainian exec. So their existence can’t be clearly confirmed or disconfirmed by looking at Biden’s actual emails. Foreign entities hand goods to Giuliani who regularly works with ....

3/ foreign intelligence operations on Trumps behalf. Going to the Post is text book. Every reporter who’s done work in Nat sec or intel space recognizes it. Go to publication with loose or no standards to get the material out intact.

4/ British press, particularly the tabs but not only them, are notorious fir this. The got it to a young ex-Hannity segment producer they knew wld run with it no questions asked.

5/ Note the argument is that Hunter Biden took three laptops in for data recovery to a repair guy who happens to be an over the top feral Trumper. He did actually see Biden because he claims he has a medical condition that prevents him from seeing his clients.

6/ But he saw a Beau Biden Foundation sticker on one of the machines and drew the obvious conclusion. Then Hunter never called or tried to get the laptops. So basically a dead drop of his own three laptops.
